THE ARTIST
As a boy Rick grew up in south-western Ontario, in the Canadian country side. From raising horses to hikes in the wilderness, nature has been an important aspect of Rick's life from a very early age. His quest for searching out the beauties of nature has also lead to his own self discovery as a person. In this quest he has strived to improve and push himself to produce truly outstanding images of his travels.
Rick's love for the arts has been cultivated over many years, being classically trained as a water colour artist and landscape painter. He first became involved in the arts by teaching himself to draw using pencil and charcoal techniques. Although "fine arts" has always been a part of his life, Rick has always been interested in the sciences and later in life obtained a Ph.D. in Physics. It is this cross between the sciences and arts which has lead to Rick's love of capturing nature in all its glory using photographic means.
Rick strives to bring forth the best images possible and improving his craft. We hope you enjoy the images and thank you for visiting
